Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive scent. Book is either a creamy, cosy hug of woody freshness or a jarring dill pickle in a bottle. If you're a Santal 33 fan, you might just find a cheaper alternative in this woody-aromatic number, but be warned, not everyone gets the memo.
This one's a proper divisive beast. You'll either fall head over heels for its dusty, unique character or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but bold enough to be iconic for some.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, woody profile make it suitable for casual wear and daily use. It's a bit too divisive and understated for formal events, and while fresh, its woody depth isn't ideal for vigorous sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its woody, animalic nature and the 'moldy/dusty' descriptions, it's not ideal for the office or sport. However, its unique and cozy appeal makes it suitable for casual wear and intriguing for dates. Some might find it wearable formally, but its distinctiveness could be a bit much.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Warm Spicy accords and Cedar notes
